Los Angeles, stand up for my man Inka One. Because of this cat, Boombox is one of the dopest events in L.A. With top notch artists dropping in and album release parties Boombox is a must go event. So head to Grand Star on December 5th to celebrate Boombox Three Year Anniversary with Inka One, Ben Diggin, & One Man Jazz.
